Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg” and “gutenberg blocks” for “gutenberg block” and “grid layout”. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “gutenberg block” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg blocks” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “grid layout” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active

At least 30K of 3.2M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 42 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I use Classical editor and WPBackery on my site. It is advertised that this plugin works with WPBackery so I have downloaded it and wasted my time on its learning. But! It works with WPBackery only with templates (as it is shown on the tutorial video on youtube) and… in free vresion you can use only ONE template! So the free version almost does not integrate with WPBackery or other block systems. It was a lie. This topic was modified 5 days ago by alatena. This topic was modified 5 days ago by alatena.

    If you are going to design a blog, you should definitely work with PostX; they also have a staff member named Shahriar who provides fantastic support—many thanks! This topic was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by noktall. This topic was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by noktall.

    I really like PostX and I appreciate the quality of its Gutenberg blocks. However, there is one major limitation that makes almost all free blocks unusable for many languages. Currently, every block displays dates in a fixed format like: Feb, 7 2024 The only way to use the WordPress Default Date Format is by upgrading to the Pro version. I honestly don’t understand this decision. The WordPress default date format is not a premium feature. It is a core WordPress localization feature that allows themes and plugins to respect each site’s language and regional settings. For many languages and calendars (such as Persian/Jalali, Arabic, Thai, and others), the fixed English-style format is either incorrect or meaningless. As a result, all free PostX blocks display dates in a format that doesn’t match the site’s locale, making them unsuitable for multilingual and localized websites. Please consider making “WordPress Default Date Format” available in the free version. Premium features should add extra functionality, but respecting the site’s default WordPress date format should be considered a basic compatibility feature, not a Pro-only feature. I hope you will reconsider this decision in a future update. If this issue is fixed and the free blocks become compatible with all WordPress languages and localized date formats (at least by making the “WordPress Default Date Format” option available in the free version), I will gladly update my review and rating. Without this, the free blocks are practically unusable for many localized websites.

    Great team, support engineer Owadud helped me with a solution regarding the left alignment of the list icons in a few hours. Now I can change the alignment as desired. Friendly, professional and immediate response. I love the List Post X Pro plugin with nice icons in the list. Nerina Darman from Slovenia, Europe

    PostX has been a game-changer for building beautiful, modern blog and magazine layouts using Gutenberg. The variety of prebuilt post grid and list layouts lets me create engaging content pages quickly without any coding. The customization options are flexible enough to match my site’s style perfectly. I especially appreciate the responsive design and how well it works across devices. The support team is friendly and responsive, helping me solve questions promptly. While some advanced features require the Pro version, the free version offers plenty of value for most users. Overall, PostX is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their WordPress blog or news website with stylish grid blocks.
